s#M&N9ss@|Aw Ing uncOmplalnlngly the opposite sex are the best Take the follow friend, who has kindly shown us her letter: DEAREST ETTA: George wrote to me and his letter came to me yesterday. It pleased me in everything except his reference to your continued illness, and as soon as heard from him I decided to write you at once and tell you something that firmly believe will be the means of perhaps saving your life, eer- tainly of relieving you of much of your present agony.
 As you probably know, up to last Janua- " was a confirmed invalid from 8 combi- nation of troubles-nervous dyspepsia, in- tense sciatic neuralgia, with partial paralysis of one leg and attacks of neuralgia spasm of the heart From weight of one hundred and forty-ive pounds I fell to ninety-two pounds, and the agony I suffered and the dread of death that came upon me at times nearly drove me mad. Indeed feared insan- ity more than death, and many times have decided to end my agonized tortures by my own hand Thank God did not.
 To-day I weigh my old one hundred and forty and just nine pounds more; my leg is wholly free from paralysis, my health splendid, sleep sweet, no headache, palpita- tion and neuralgia of the heart gone-indeed I am not only we'll, but in better health than I ever was Scotch Oats Essence, which 8 friend persuaded me to try, did it all for me in two months time. Do try it for your neuralgia Furthermore, and forgive my saying so, it will stop the necessity for using opium daily, which is running your health and breaking your husbands heart. It cured neighbor of mine who was taking twenty grains of morphine daily.
 
 Ever yours,
 MRS. SAMUEL A. BUTTS,
 Islip, Suffolk County,
 Long Island. Any reader desiring to do so can write to Mrs. Butts, who will substantiate the above facts, and add that the lady to whom this letter was addressed has since been cured of both her opium habit and neuralgia by Scotch Oats Essence. This great tonic and invigorant is sold by all druggists for one dollar per bottle, and book on "Brain and Nerve Diseases" may be had free by sending a postal card to Scotch Oats Essence compa- | ny, 160 Fulton street, New York.
